driving speed. This ensures finely cut clippings. When
mulching, drive at about half the speed used for
broadcasting.
Optimal Clipping Length
Ideal mulching trims just the top ½ - ¾ inch of grass,
resulting in decomposing clippings. Experiment with
cutting height based on your climate, season, and lawn
thickness. As always, mow thoughtfully and consider
your lawn's unique conditions for the best results.

MOWING RECOMMENDATIONS
Multiple factors impact your mower's grass-cutting
efficiency. Adhering to mowing guidelines enhances
performance and longevity.
7.7.1 HEIGHT OF GRASS
Cutting height often depends on preference. Typically,
mow when grass is 3-5 inches high. Proper height
varies based on grass type, rainfall, temperature, and
lawn health. Cutting too short weakens grass and
makes it prone to damage by dry periods and pests.
Slightly longer grass is less prone to damage. Longer
growth in hot, dry conditions reduces heat stress,
conserves moisture, and guards against damage.
Keeping the grass too long leads to thin turf and
problems. Don't cut too much at once; follow the 1/3
rule: trim a maximum of 1/3 and no more than 1 inch at
a time.
Mowing capacity depends on your chosen mowing
system. Broadcasting with side discharge decks
handles more grass than mulching. Tall grass needs
gradual cutting. For very tall grass, begin with max
height (1), then lower it for the second (2) or third pass.
Avoid leaving excessive clippings on top of the grass.
Consider a grass collection system or composting.
Remember, different systems are suited to different
situations.

Do not tow this mower, it may cause damage to the
drive system.
Do not load mower on a trailer or truck using two
separate ramps. Only use a full-width ramp that is
at least one foot wider than the width of the rear
wheels of the mower. The rear wheels could fall off the
ramps or the unit could tip over injuring the operator
or bystanders. Ensure the cutting deck is raised to the
highest position so it does not get caught on the ramp.
1. Park the mower on a level surface.
2. Raise the cutting deck to the highest position.
3. Position and secure ramp to the trailer according to
4. Use a full-width loading ramp that is at least 1 ft.
5. Slowly drive the mower onto the ramp and into the
6. After loading, lower mower deck completely.
7. Set the parking brake.
8. Secure the mower as needed using straps or cables

Mow when grass height is between three to five
inches.
Use sharp blades for precision. Short clippings
under one inch decompose faster, and sharp blades
prevent frayed edges.
Choose a cool and dry time of day for mowing, like
late afternoon or early evening.
Avoid mowing after rain or heavy dew. Never mulch
wet grass as it clumps beneath the mower deck and
doesn't mulch effectively.
